Jaguar F-Type Project 7

WHITLEY, England - June 24, 2014: The F-TYPE Project 7, the latest model
in the acclaimed Jaguar F-TYPE sports car range, is set to make its debut
at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed on June 26.

"Special Operations exists to develop a suite of products and services
that enable our most discerning and enthusiastic customers to indulge their
passion for our cars. F-TYPE Project 7 is a perfect example of one such
product. It's the most powerful production Jaguar vehicle ever built, and
pays homage to seven outright Jaguar Le Mans victories with distinctive
design cues inspired by the Jaguar D-type which celebrates its 60th
anniversary this year," says John Edwards, Managing Director, Jaguar Land
Rover Special Operations.

The F-TYPE Project 7 is the first Jaguar performance vehicle from Jaguar
Land Rover's Special Operations team, and will be produced in an exclusive,
limited-edition run of up to 250 units globally. Its distinctive roadster
body, introduced in concept form last summer, pays tribute to one of the
most famous and iconic racing Jaguar cars: the three-time Le Mans winning
D-type, which in 2014 is celebrating its 60th anniversary year. The naming
of the F-TYPE Project 7 pays homage to seven outright Jaguar Le Mans
wins.

Jaguar F-Type Project 7

The F-TYPE Project 7 is powered by the Jaguar 5.0-liter supercharged V8
engine, now in 575 horsepower form, enabling the all-aluminum-bodied car -
which weighs 3,495 lbs (1585kg) - to achieve acceleration from 0-60mph in
3.8-seconds (0-100km/h in 3.9-seconds)1 and onwards towards an
electronically-limited top speed of 186mph (300km/h) 1. F-TYPE Project 7
will be street-legal and feature a removable roof.

While F-TYPE Project 7 features performance-focused engineering by
Special Vehicle Operations - the engineering and vehicle division of
Special Operations - its design has been kept true to the head-turning
lines of the original Project 7 concept.

Key design elements include the D-type-inspired fairing behind the
driver, a new front bumper, and downforce-increasing aerodynamic
modifications - including a carbon-fiber front air splitter, side skirts,
rear diffuser and adjustable rear spoiler. While the original concept car
was a single seater, the production version has been transformed into a
two-seater, with rollover hoops for both driver and passenger now
integrated into the design. US specification cars will feature a full
height windshield.

2014 JAGUAR F-TYPE PROJECT 7: IN DETAIL

Engineering
The 2014 Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7 is a product of pure passion and the
pinnacle of Jaguar performance sports car range.

The Special Vehicle Operations-engineered F-TYPE Project 7 is powered by
a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine producing 575 hp (an increase of 25 hp
over the F-TYPE R Coupé). Power is delivered to the rear wheels through
Jaguar's eight-speed Quickshift transmission and second-generation
Electronic Active Differential. Special Vehicle Operations engineers have
developed a bespoke transmission calibration for the F-TYPE Project 7, with
revised shift points and shift characteristics.

This enables the lightweight, all-aluminum bodied roadster - which, at
3,495 lbs (1585kg), weighs 176 lbs (80 kg) less than the F-TYPE V8 S
Convertible - to accelerate from 0-60mph in just 3.8 seconds (0-100 km/h in
3.9 seconds) 1, with an electronically-limited top speed of 186mph1.

F-TYPE Project 7 features a switchable Active Sport Exhaust system with
quad, matt-black ceramic coated, outboard-mounted tailpipes. The system
uses electronically-controlled bypass valves in the rear section of the
exhaust which are mapped to open according to a range of parameters,
effectively altering the exhaust gas routing into a free-flowing
straight-through arrangement to both reduce back pressure and enhance sound
quality.

Made from a matrix of carbon-fiber and ceramic, which is extremely hard
and highly resistant to wear, the CCM system offers consistent performance
and excellent fade resistance even during sustained extreme driving
conditions. Jaguar CCM brakes feature a pre-fill system function that
applies a low brake pressure to all four calipers when the throttle is
released - and before the brake pedal is pressed again - to ensure
consistent brake pedal feel.

F-TYPE Project 7 benefits from bespoke, Special Vehicle
Operations-engineered front suspension knuckles which give increased
negative camber, revised top mounts and new front/rear anti-roll bars. The
front and rear spring and damper units are height adjustable, and both
spring rates and damper internals have been tailored specifically to F-TYPE
Project 7.

Jaguar's Adaptive Dynamics system is designed to actively control
vertical body movement, roll and pitch rates by continuously monitoring
driver inputs and the attitude of the car on the road, adjusting damper
rates accordingly up to 500 times a second to optimize stability. The
Adaptive Dynamics controlling software has been precisely re-calibrated to
suit F-TYPE Project 7, the Dynamic Stability Control system also having a
unique state of tune2.

Torque Vectoring by Braking (TVbB), designed to intelligently and
rapidly apply precise amounts of braking force to individual wheels to
accurately sharpen the car's line through a corner, is standard. TVbB works
in conjunction with the Electronic Active Differential (which can go from
open to full locking torque in 200 milliseconds) and the car's Dynamic
Stability Control system to optimize traction, cornering ability and, most
importantly, to maximize steering feel and agility2.

"Above all - F-TYPE Project 7 is fast… It uses all the key
technologies we've proven on F-TYPE R Coupe to deliver absolute immediacy
of response to all driver inputs, yet its focused nature has given us the
opportunity to go further still. The result is a driving experience that's
pure and involving in every sense," says Mike Cross, Chief Engineer -
Vehicle Integrity, Jaguar.

Design
The Jaguar F-TYPE Project 7 retains the distinctive, minimalist design
of the original 2013 concept. The concept car blended a Jaguar rich racing
heritage with a new groundbreaking sports car line, the F-TYPE. Under
Jaguar Director of Design, Ian Callum, the sketch of a single-seater sports
car went from paper to reality in the space of just a few months, and will
become a production car.

"F-TYPE Project 7 is the perfect example of how, as a design team, we
can move quickly with our engineering colleagues to go from concept vehicle
to production reality - we've pushed the boundaries of what's possible
without losing any purity of form. Modern, purposeful and with a stance
that screams intent, F-TYPE Project 7 is the perfect contemporary
embodiment of the D-type that inspired it," says Ian Callum, Director of
Design, Jaguar.

The key 'heartlines' of the F-TYPE Project 7 remain those of the World
Car Design Award-winning F-TYPE sports car. They effortlessly blend with
the D-type-inspired rear fairing section that incorporates a rollover hoop
and swoops rearwards and down from behind the driver's head. Being a
two-seater, F-TYPE Project 7 features a second rollover hoop, behind the
passenger seat.

Extensive aerodynamic modifications on F-TYPE Project 7 include a front
splitter with a lower section made of polymer and an upper section in
carbon-fiber. Side skirts, rear diffuser and an adjustable rear spoiler are
all made of carbon-fiber. These components together mean the F-TYPE Project
7 generates 177% more downforce than F-TYPE Convertible at its top speed of
186mph1.

The rear deck, hood vents, side vent louvers and mirror caps are also
all made of carbon-fiber. A Bimini roof has been specially designed for
F-TYPE Project 7. It clips on to the convertible header rail, and can be
conveniently folded and, when not in use, stowed in the trunk.

The interior features carbon-fiber inserts on the console, machined
aluminum gearshift paddles and bespoke treadplates with the Project 7
logo.

Each F-TYPE Project 7 will be hand-built to exacting standards by
Special Operations, and offered in an exclusive, limited-edition production
capped at 250 units globally. These cars will sport a commemorative plaque,
located between the two seats, featuring Ian Callum's signature.
